I wondered how long it would be until someone broke out this bullshit. 16 posts... I'm actually surprised it took that long.

I used to buy the occasional game and play many. Somewhere along the line, that changed. My disposable income didn't change, my spending habits did. I can't point to just one thing and say "that's why!" it was really a culmination of things. For software, I'm practically 100% legit now. I've even started to dredge the bottom for getting licenses. I bought FRAPS, god knows they deserved it (even though it was $37). Next pay-check, I'm buying WinRAR. It's $29, but again they will deserve it. I really am at the bottom of the barrel, there is practically no software left on my system that isn't legitimate.

At the same time, for every title I own I don't have to put the disc in the drive to play it. That is a limitation that just pisses me off and while grey it isn't outright illegal to make my games that way where I live. It is illegal in the US. First-hand experience tells me that piracy isn't so simple an issue. I'm not saying it is ever justified, just that I've come around to buying all my software without knowing exactly where I changed.
